Poker Video: No Limit Hold'Em by Ansky (High Stakes)

Ansky, Great Vid! One comment on the QQ hand. You said he would have a ton of draws here but I think that is wrong. He called a 3 bet oop so his range is somewhat tight. Also I think we can eliminate AdKd since he likely 4 bets that. So AQ, AJ, KQ, KJ are impossible due to your Qd and the board Jd. So that leaves AT A9 A8 possible some smaller Ax's but I think most fold to a 3 bet out of pos. here. KT is possible. But again smaller K's fold. Td9d is possible T8 is a stretch. 8d7d is posible but I think any smaller generally will fold preflop. So like 7 combos, maybe 3 more for all the 89s. Still that is 10 draws vs 9 set combos and 12 combos of AA or KK. So 21 times your a 92% dog and 10 times a 50% against straight and flush draws. Isn't this a fold for the check raise when you think about it?
Thanks.

Really great content. The fact that you give the reasoning behind everything you do is excellent.



99 b vs b- you say that vs aggro opps its a clear 4bt-call, but you said you just flat vs the nittier players. It seems to me that you're very often calling to ch-fold on a lot of flops and if you win the hand, unless you hit a set, you're winning a very small pot. The only time you win set-less will go ch-c, ch-ch, ch-ch & you win SD. For me this strategy has been a leak, can you expand on your reasoning behind flatting here and how to turn it into a +ev situation? I just feel I'm missing a very important 'something'.

Thanx.

Another reason to call vs nits is not just because they have a tight 3b range, it's also because they will rarely barrel you when they miss. You can c/c a lot of flops and give up if they keep firing.

Dani,

Excellent video, it was very very good! It just seemed fresh, and that you were very candid about your thoughts.
At 36:00 you have KdQh and the flop is AhQd5h you checked back the flop for what you said were "very obvious reasons, especially since I have the Qh" could you elaborate a bit please?
I am assuming bc you aren't ever folding out an any ace but what of the added significance of the Qh? Added equity of a heart turn?

Also, I really do hope you stick with doing your own live sweat sessions as opposed to sweating someone else.

Basically, yes.

Table 2: you call MP raise from bb with AJs. Villain decides to check back K77 rainbow board, turn is an A and you lead out with your turned top pair. Is this a spot where you lead out with TP, because you would do it also with air since villain has likely some sort of showdown value (and unless he has some Ax high he will keep checking back on this turn card) once he checks back this type of board and you expect to make him fold by betting turn and river? I am wondering because in theory this card helps more his pfr raising range rather than your bb pfc range.

I dont expect him to often have a hand which will represent an ace on the turn, because he typically bets his hands with no showdown value on the flop. I don't know what you mean by "once he checks back this type of board and you expect to make him fold by betting turn and river?"

Why would he ever fold an ace?

So glad you joinded the number 1 training site. I snap folded my poker savy sub when i heard you were leaving and fist pumped when told you were joing dueces. gggggggg wpwpwpwpwp

As you said you don't expect him to have an hand that will represent an ace very often, so what I was wondering is whether you feel this is also a good spot to donk out with air. I don't know how wide is your bb flatting range against an MP raise, but if you have JTs/T9s/QJs here would you donk out as well?

Typically no, because he has an ace that checked the flop to get to showdown so often.

Good Vid, but you were talking to fast for me. I often wsant sure what talble you were talking about, and had a hard time understanding you.

These are the types of videos that will keep me a member beyond the trial period. So much better then some of the others that play one hand and analyze it for twenty minutes. It is kind of like playing more hands improves ones game much faster, and the same seems to be true here watching more hands in videos should help more as well.

'ahh fuck it' lol'd

On poker news Twitter, said g4 cancelled next seaon. What network you guys using next year?

ANSKY...i followed you over from Savvy and the first thing i noticed is how the video is you alone commenting.

Thats great!! Nobody wants to hear anything that non-pro people like savvychris have to say...it really is all about what your thoughts are and nobody elses.

This video was awesome not only because you ran fairly good but the fast paced commentary was pretty damn good too. If you must make a change...(and you dont really need to unless this pace is uncomfortable) then I would say just record the session so you can pause at spots and cover areas slightly more in depth if needed.

I hope you dont end up making more vids sweating other people though I would much rather see you play.
